The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in Congo has killed over 1,500 people, with 3,442 cases recorded as of Tuesday. The outbreak, linked to the Bundibugyo virus with no approved vaccines, is concentrated in Ituri province but has spread to five others. Security challenges and aid worker withdrawals have hindered response efforts, while Uganda declared itself Ebola-free.
